IMPROVEMENT IN PLOWS.

. Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 35,415, dated May 27,1862.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, W. UOGGESHALL, of Findlay, in the county ot Hanoockand State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful 1m- ,provement inFlows; and Ido hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, andexact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings,making a part of this specification, in which- Figure l is aside view ofa plow constructed according to my invention Fig. 2, a planor top view of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the twofigures.

This invention relates to an improvement in the draft-beam of the plow,as hereinafter fully shown and described, whereby it-js believed thatthe draft of the plow ismuch dccreased below that of ordinary plows inuse, and the plow rendered capable of being readrow, as circumstancesmay require.

To enable those skilled in the. art to fully understand and construct myinvention, [will proceed to describe it.

A represents the mold-board of the plow, B the share, 0 O the handles,and D the landside.

The front part of the landside extends upward above the mold-board A,and is curved forward, as shown at a in Fig. 1. To the front end of thepart a of the landside thereis attached, by a pivot, b, a rod, E, thefront end of it may fit over the upper edge of the beam F the plow isstraight at its front part, 01, but

and isattached at its lower end to the lower part of the landside D,near its front end, by a bolt, f. The curved part c of the beam is alsofitted in guides g 9, attached to the inner surface of the landside. Thefront part, 01, of the beam is perforated with a series of holes,h,-through anyone of which and the fork cof therod E a bolt, 0', passes,said bolt connectiug the rodEwith the beam F.

The beam and rod are both of metal, and the draft-animals are attachedto the front end of the beam in the usual or in any proper way.

G represents the colter, the upper part of which is secured by a key, j,in a socket, H, at the right-hand side of the front part, a, of thelandsid'e D.

From the above description it will be seen that the line of the draft ofthe plow may be varied as desired by adjusting the bolt 1; in the beam Fnearer to or farther from its front end, the front end, of the beambeing elevated when the boltiis placed in the back holes rod E and beamF thus connected admit of--- the draft being transmitted in the mostfavorable manner to the plow to insure an easy movement of the same, forthe attachment of the rod E being at the upper part, a, of the landsideD, and the attachment of the beam F at the lower part of the landside,it will be seen that there will be an equal pull both above and below,and the plow is made to run steady without being liable to tilt eitherdownward or upward under the draft movement. The draft also is muchdecreased in consequence, and a strong and durable plow obtained.

1 do not claim, separately, a curved beam, for they have been used nordo Iclaim,sepaarately, any of the parts herein specified; but

I do claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentw. OOGGESHALL.
